h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Spook,

Don't know how far you've got with this, but it might be worth mentioning things like the telesnaps, the small photos taken from a TV monitor when the episodes were broadcast. A man called John Cura took them in the 1960s, but they were forgotten about until researchers Marcus Hearn and Andrew Pixley - during separate research sessions at around the same time - unearthed the contact sheets for the photos. These contact sheets have since been restored and, in some cases, transferred to video along with fan audio recordings made at the time.


Might also do with a link to the unofficial Restoration Team who are BBC employees who do a lot of work restoring existing episodes and keeping them up to the highest possible quality:

All the best,

i've added that link. i think the telesnaps should be included in a totally different entry. if u'd like to write one on the doctor who telesnaps i would be happy to include it in my doctor who project, however, i don't know much about them.

spook

so, would u like to write an entry on them for my project?

Let's see, shall we? I've made a start on the title sequences one, which I'm hoping to finish on wednesday night (otherwise it'll be after Xmas). But the telesnaps would hopefully be a safe one to do, because BBC Cult host a lot of them.

Have you seen the clips of the missing clips from Web of Fear? Apparently, they're going to be on the DVD of Seeds of Death, all vidFIREd and shiny!

sounds good! i look forward to reading the title sequences entry.

so, , was that a yes to the telesnaps one?

spook

ps. i haven't seen the clips yet. i haven't looked for a while
